Say goodbye to winter and lift your spirits with my color-of-the-season: Minuet in Peach.
Apple Blossom is soft and nearly neutral pink that's exuberantly speckled with shades of lichen, moss green, and hot pink. It's one of my Anne of Green Gables-inspired colorways, and its color draws from the 1980s CBS/PBS series when Matthew drives Anne home from the train station and they pass under flowering fruit trees, which Anne names "The White Way of Delight."
If you, like me, believe that pink is a neutral, you'll love this color! It pairs perfectly wtih Minuet in Peach if you want to make something with stripes.
I'm offering this color on two of my favorite fingering weight yarn bases, plus Harvest Sport and Mohair-Silk Lace—which can be held with either of the two to make four different fabrics suitable for a wide range of sweater, shawl and sock patterns.
